Scout Exploration, Inc.
Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited) (Presented in US dollars)

March 31, 2009

 
Nature of operations and going concern
 
Scout Exploration, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 1, 1999.  The Company was initially engaged in the business of designing, developing and marketing educational products for children, adults, business people, as well as new language learners.  On April 10, 2006 the Company changed its name from Virtual Curricula Corp. to Scout Exploration, Inc.  The Company is now in the business of the exploration, development and exploitation of mineral and oil and gas resources properties.
 
As of March 31, 2009, we had cash on hand of $16,996 and negative working capital of $305,542.  We do not anticipate present oil and gas revenues will be sufficient to pay ongoing general and administrative expenses for the next year nor pay the debenture payments of $178,380, nor the $20,000 payment due to the vendor of the Wheaton River mineral property in September 2009. We will need to obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations.
 
We believe that debt financing will not be a feasible alternative, as we do not have sufficient unencumbered tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional financing will be equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and nor can we provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from such potential equity financings.  In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration or development of our mineral claims and oil and gas property interests and our business plan will then fail. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing to fund possible in field drilling of the oil and gas properties, as well as other operational costs and short term debt obligations, there is no assurance of success from such drilling activities.  There is a significant risk any future in field drilling of our oil and gas properties may not be successful and that we may not be able to meet other obligations. In the event we are not able to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our mineral claims and may lose our oil and gas properties, should we default on the terms of the secured debenture issued as part of the acquisition terms.
 
Should such a situation arise, we may consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to meet the debt obligations and possibly continue development of the oil and gas properties. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner. Even if we elect to pursue a joint venture partner, there is no assurance that any other party would want to enter into a joint venture agreement with us. If we enter into a joint venture agreement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in the oil and gas properties to our joint venture partner.
 
The Company’s continuing operations, as intended, are dependent on management’s ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances, asset sales or a combination thereof, which is not assured. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS 157 has not had any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”).  SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, and certain other items, at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 159 has not had any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Share purchase agreement
 
On June 18, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Brian Mahood, defined therein as the “Vendor”, whereby the Vendor agreed to sell 100% of the issued and outstanding Class A Voting Shares of Kerrisdale Resources Ltd. (“KRL”), an Alberta corporation, to the Company (the “Agreement”). The effective date of the Agreement is January 1, 2008 and it had a Closing Date of June 18, 2008.
 
The Purchase Price for the Shares was $760,849 ($775,000 CDN) (the “Purchase Price”) comprised of $24,543 ($25,000 CDN) paid in cash to the Vendor at the time of signing the January 28, 2008 Letter of Intent, $392,696 ($400,000 CDN) paid to the Vendor on Closing Date of June 18, 2008, and the issuance of a $343,610 ($350,000 CDN) debenture (“Debenture”) to the Vendor with a maturity date of December 31, 2010. The Debenture is secured by a first charge on all of KRL’s assets.
 
The Purchase Price of $760,849 ($775,000 CDN) represents the fair value of the acquired oil and gas assets. The fair value of the net assets acquired was:

Share purchase agreement (continued)
 
The Debenture bears interest at 6.75% per annum, effective from January 1, 2008.  Under the original terms of the Agreement, interest was payable on July 1, 2008 (paid) for the period January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008, on October 1, 2008 (paid) and January 1, 2009 (paid), and thereafter quarterly until the Debenture is fully paid; subsequently modified (see below) such that effective January 1, 2009 and thereafter accrued interest is payable monthly commencing on February 1, 2009 until the Debenture is fully paid.
 
The original terms of the Debenture required a principal payment on January 2, 2009, of either $125,000 CDN plus the quarterly interest otherwise due for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, or the prepayment of $350,000 CDN Debenture total plus the quarterly interest otherwise due for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 together with an additional interest payment calculated as the amount that accrued on the Debenture balance for the two (2) quarters ending December 31, 2008.   During the current fiscal period, the Vendor and the Company agreed to modify the terms of the Debenture such that effective January 1, 2009, accrued interest is payable monthly as detailed above, and to replace the principal payment due on January 2, 2009 for $125,000 CDN with three payments totaling $135,000 CDN, of which $28,109 ($35,000 CDN) has been paid.  Remaining payments under the modified terms are as follows:

Total Debenture payable
  $ 325,000     $ 257,660  
 
In addition, terms of the Debenture require a principal payment on January 2, 2010, at the Company’s sole and exclusive option, of either $125,000 CDN plus the monthly interest otherwise due for the month of December 2009, or the prepayment of the then remaining principal balance plus the monthly interest otherwise due for the month of December 2009 together with an additional interest payment calculated as the amount that accrued on the Debenture balance for the six (6) months ending December 31, 2009.
 
As security for the Principal Amount of the Debenture, KRL and the Vendor entered into a General Security Agreement, the effective date of which is January 1, 2008 (the “Security Agreement”). Pursuant to the provisions of the Security Agreement, KRL granted to the Vendor a continuing security interest in and to all (i) personal property of KRL including goods, chattel paper, securities, documents of title, instruments, money, intangibles; (ii) real property of KRL including all charges on KRL land or interests in land and petroleum and natural gas leases; and (iii) parts, accessories, attachments, equipment, additions, accretions thereto and property thereof, together with any equipment or accessories placed upon repairs made to the foregoing during the term of the Security Agreement.

Resource properties
 
Petroleum and Natural Gas Properties
 
Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement as more fully described in Note 3, the Company has varying working interests, from 6% to 100%, in fourteen (14) natural gas wells located in Alberta and eight (8) crude petroleum wells located in Saskatchewan. The cost of these producing wells is recorded at the apportioned purchase price paid by the Company as more fully described in Note 3.

Mineral Property: AAV 1-9 Claims
 
On March 4, 2006 the Company signed a letter of agreement with a non-arms length private Canadian Corporation for a 100% interest in and to the Wheaton River AAV 1-9 Claims situated in the Whitehorse Mining District of the Yukon Territory, Canada. Terms of the purchase require a cash payment of $5,000 by March 31, 2006 (paid) and $20,000 on or before September 30, 2006 (subsequently deferred to September 30, 2009), and the issuance of 500,000 common shares of the Company (issued at fair value of $0.05 per common share). The Vendor will retain 3% net smelter royalty, up to 2% of which can be re-purchased for $2,000,000. All costs associated with Exploration Mineral projects are expensed when incurred.

Asset retirement obligations
 
The total future asset retirement obligation was estimated based on the Company’s net ownership interest in all oil and gas properties, the estimated cost to abandon and reclaim the properties, and the estimated timing of the cost to be incurred in future periods. The total undiscounted amount of the estimated future cash flows required to settle the retirement obligation is approximately $49,424 which will be incurred during the years 2012 through 2034. A credit adjusted risk free rate of 6.5 percent was used to calculate the fair value of the asset retirement obligation.

Financial instruments and risk management
 
 
a)
Fair value
 
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, amounts due to related parties and debenture payable. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
 
 
b)
Foreign exchange risk
 
The Company expects to raise equity predominantly in United States dollars. The Company is conducting business in Canada where financial transactions are based on the Canadian dollar. As such, the Company is subject to risks due to fluctuations in the exchange rates for the U.S. and Canadian dollar. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency risk.
 
At March 31, 2009 the Company had the following financial assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars:
 
   
CDN Dollars
 
Cash
  $ 19,387  
Receivables
  $ 31,219  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
  $ 139,026  
Debenture payable
  $ 325,000  

At March 31, 2009 CDN dollar amounts were converted at a rate of $1.2614 Canadian dollars to $1.00 US dollar.
 
12.
Commitments
 
On June 18, 2008, and as amended January 7, 2009, the Company entered into a Management Agreement with Kerrisdale Consulting Inc. (“KCI”) with an effective date of January 1, 2008 whereby KCI would provide ongoing senior and geological and management operations services to the Company for a monthly fee of $1,000 CDN per month, terminating on December 31, 2009.
 
In addition, pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement (see Note 3), the Company agreed to pay KCI $500 CDN per month for a period of two years commencing January 1, 2008, as rent pursuant to a sublease by the Company of office space located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Subsequent event
 
Subsequent to March 31, 2009, the Company was notified by the Vendor of KRL that we were in default of the terms of the amended Share Purchase Agreement for failing to make the payment scheduled for March 31, 2009 in the amount of $50,000 CDN.  We are in the process of negotiating a resolution and settlement of the dispute.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
 
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our capital needs, business plans and expectations. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties regarding the market price of precious and base metals, oil and gas, availability of funds, government regulations, operating costs, exploration costs, outcomes of exploration programs and other factors. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Our actual results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors. These factors may cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. While these forward-looking statements are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding our business plans, actual results from our operations will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any future performance suggested herein.
 
Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
 
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common stock” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
 
As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” and “Scout” mean Scout Exploration, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
 
Current Business
 
We are a junior oil and gas producing company.  Over the next year our plan of operations is to complete the following objectives, subject to our obtaining the necessary funding for the continued exploration and possible further development of our resource properties, both mineral and oil and gas:
 
 
·
For the foreseeable future, we plan to defer any further exploration work programs on the Wheaton River Property.
 
·
We expect the acquisition of Kerrisdale to generate approximately $12,000 in monthly net income after taxes.
 
·
We plan to evaluate the potential of completing in field drilling to hopefully expand our proven oil and gas reserves. Completion of any further drilling will be dependent on favorable engineering recommendations for the commencement of any in field drilling and our ability to raise additional funds. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such funds, nor is there any assurance that any in field drilling will, upon completion, result in any additional proven oil and gas reserves.
 
·
We anticipate spending approximately $17,000 monthly in ongoing general and administrative expenses over the next year. These expenses will consist primarily of management remuneration, travel and promotion costs, professional fees for audit and legal work relating to our regulatory filings, transfer agent fees, annual mineral claim fees and general office expenses.
 
·
We owe the vendor of the Wheaton River property an additional $20,000, which is due and payable on or before September 30, 2009.
 
Results of operations
 
Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2009 were $103,535 as compared to $Nil for the six months ended March 31, 2008.  Prior to the acquisition of our subsidiary, Kerrisdale Resources Ltd. (“Kerrisdale”), which closed on June 18, 2008, we had no source of revenues.
 
 
Administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2009 were $92,176 as compared to $160,535 for the six months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease is a result of decreased consulting fees associated with our acquisition of Kerrisdale that took place in 2008.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2009, we had cash on hand of $16,996 and negative working capital of $305,542, after including $178,380 debenture principal payments which are due and payable within one year.
 
We do not anticipate present oil and gas revenues will be sufficient to pay ongoing general and administrative expenses for the next year nor pay the debenture payments of $178,380, nor the $20,000 payment due to the vendor of the Wheaton River mineral property in September 2009. We will need to obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations.
 
We believe that debt financing will not be a feasible alternative, as we do not have sufficient unencumbered tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional financing will be equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and nor can we provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from such potential equity financings.  In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration or development of our mineral claims and oil and gas property interests and our business plan will then fail. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing to fund possible in field drilling of its oil and gas properties, as well as other operational costs and short term debt obligations, there is no assurance of success from such drilling activities.  There is a significant risk any future in field drilling of our oil and gas properties may not be successful and that we may not be able to meet our other obligations. In the event we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our mineral claims and may lose our oil and gas properties, should we default on the terms of the secured debenture issued as part of the acquisition terms.
 
Should such a situation arise, we may consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to meet our debt obligations and possibly continue our development of our oil and gas properties. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner. Even if we elect to pursue a joint venture partner, there is no assurance that any other party would want to enter into a joint venture agreement with us. If we enter into a joint venture agreement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in the oil and gas properties to our joint venture partner.
 
Future Financing
 
We anticipate we will continue to rely on equity sales of our common stock to finance our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned exploration or development activities.

Item 4T
Controls and Procedures
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
As of March 31, 2009 management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below.  This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
 
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses were: lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors; and inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives.
 
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
 
We will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function to address the lack of segregation of duties when funds are available to us.  And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.
 
The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our company securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 3
Defaults upon Senior Securities.
 
On or about April 15, 2009, we were notified by Brian C. Mahood that, in the opinion of Mr. Mahood, we were in default of that certain written (i) Share Purchase Agreement among Mr. Mahood, Kerrisdale Resources Ltd. (“Kerrisdale”), and us dated January 1, 2008, as amended on December 31, 2008 (the “Purchase Agreement”), and
 

 
(ii) General Security Agreement among Kerrisdale and Mr. Mahood dated June 18, 2008 (the “Security Agreement”).  Additionally, on or about April 15, 2009, based upon that alleged default, Mr. Mahood demanded payment from us and Kerrisdale pursuant to the Purchase Agreement of Cdn$325,000.00 plus (i) interest accruing from and after April 1, 2009, and (ii) collection legal fees and expenses, which total Cdn$328,062.00.
 
The defaults alleged by Mr. Mahood are (i) the failure to pay to Mr. Mahood on March 31, 2009, a payment in the amount of Cdn$50,000.00 and (ii) Kerrisdale used certain funds, which are included in the definition of “Collateral” in the Security Agreement, to pay, directly or indirectly, certain obligations that were not Kerrisdale’s, but, rather, ours.
 
We have informed Mr. Mahood that we deny and reject the claims of defaults regarding the payment of those funds for our obligations.  Additionally, we have informed Mr. Mahood that the cash from the operations of Kerrisdale is insufficient to pay the amounts payable to Mr. Mahood pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
 
We are in the process of negotiating a resolution and settlement of the dispute among Mr. Mahood, Kerrisdale, and us regarding the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.  We anticipate that such dispute may be resolved and settled soon.
